The Conservatives wining an overall majority at the UK general election means a referendum on Britain's future membership of the EU is now assured.

Tory leader David Cameron made a commitment two years ago to hold a referendum by 2017 to win the support of the Conservative backbench committee.

In light of the election result, Scottish Business Insider will host a business breakfast event to discuss Scotland and the UK’s future in Europe.

The event, which will be held on May 28 at Skypark in Glasgow, will discuss the pros and cons of remaining a member of the EU; red tape and the effect it has on businesses working within the EU; legal frameworks and how those affect business; and potential reforms of the EU.

The breakfast event will look at the political permutations following the UK general election, which saw Scotland's political landscape change as the SNP won a landslide victory, taking 56 of the 59 Scottish seats.

The SNP, now the third largest party in UK politics, are strongly opposed to leaving the EU.

SNP leader and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has argued being forced out of the EU by a UK exit referendum would threaten Scottish jobs.

Labour stated they would only back a referendum if the EU sought to transfer more powers from the UK to Brussels.

The Liberal Democrats backed away from its opposition to an EU referendum in the run-up to the general election.

The Scotland’s Future in Europe event will feature an expert panel to discuss all these questions and more.

The guest panel will include Hugh Aitken, director of CBI Scotland, Garry Clark, head of policy and public affairs with the Scottish Chambers of Commerce, and Graeme Blackett, managing director of BiGGAR Economics.
